I need to upgrade graphics card so I can use an animation program (Daz Studio). When I tried to use program, I got an error saying I need to have a card that is Open GL. I'm not a gamer so I don't think I really need a top-of-the-line card.
I usually get computer stuff from OpenEgg, but I have a gift card from Dell that I need to use (from a past return).
My plan is to get a new Graphics card. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX series was recommended by Daz Studio users. I'm looking at this card:

I'm also assuming I need a psu that can support power needed by graphics card. I'm thinking this will work:

Here are the specs on my computer:
Dell Optiplex 780
Intel Core 2 Quad 2.83GHz
64 bit operating system
PSU maximum watts 255 (model # PW115)
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro, 64 bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3337U CPU @ 1.80GHz, Intel64 Family 6 Model 58 Stepping 9
Processor Count: 4
RAM: 8079 Mb
Graphics Card: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000, -1984 Mb
Hard Drives: C: Total - 953066 MB, Free - 424653 MB
I'm a newbie when it comes to adding hardware to a computer. Will the choices above work with my Optiplex 780?
I'm just trying to get some clarification before I purchase. Thanks for any help
